Sylvia followed Shortfang and listened as he explained the history of the kobolds and the Underhaven. So the kobolds and humans were friends, and the kobolds were here in the sewers willingly. Sylvia honestly thought that the kobolds were forced to be here. When she heard about the two probable causes for the rift between kobolds and humans, she honestly figured that maybe selfish humans were the main cause. She then heard about Shortfang's mother, and she couldn't help but smile.

She quickly put on the mask as soon as she heard Pylia gagged, but it wasn't fast enough as she caught whiff of the chemicals and other awful smells here. She watched as Shortfang seemed to have called for his mother, and the both of them hugged each other. It really was nice to see Shortfang reunited with his family, it made Sylvia happy...and a little homesick for her grandparents. She wished she could introduce her friends to them, but they were a world away...literally!

She answered Shortfang and Skinwalker happily, "It's nice to meet you, Skinwalker! And it's no problem, Shortfang is an awesome friend," She then introduced herself and the others, "I'm Sylvia, and this is Pylia. And this big guy is Buddy!"

She smiled a little as she said each of your names carefully, wanting to make sure she wouldn't mispronounce them. Seeing you and Pylia cover your noses though she realizes that you two wouldn't like the smell, and ushers you inside her hut. It was... Fairly small, considering kobolds. It was pretty much just one huge tent with a very small stone at the center with a stew boiling. She tossed a few herbs and oils into it causing a spark of smoke that filled the air with a somewhat more pleasant scent of hemp and butter, just like at the bigger stone house. She spoke quietly to Shortfang, who nods and looks to you. "Ah, mum says she no use to humies. Sorry not have more space. Also smell; she live here herself, away from kobolds, because tanning stinky work. And ah, says thanks again for fight trogs." Skinwalker nods and looks through some piles of junk, taking out box. Inside were more herbs and roots. She explained what these were to Shortfang who translated. "These medicine herb, Pylia! You make medicine with this. This one," Shortfang took out some wad of roots. "We need for Green Eyes. This make Green Eyes sleepy, easy to control if he angry. Make him eat, he goes dizzy, then can walk him back here!"

Pylia examined the root with interest. "I've never seen anything like this! And these ingredients... They're nothing I've seen before. But I'd be very interested in utilizing them, thank you." Pylia says respectfully. Then Skinwalker looked towards you and Buddy, makinjg a scooping motion towards her mouth. "Hungry?" Shortfang looked to you excitedly. "Mom make great ah, meatball soup! She actually already have soup right now, just need meatballs." Skinwalker nods and motions outside for Shortfang, who nods back and steps out. "Gunna get food! Have chat with mom!" After Shortfang leaves, Pylia looks nervously at you while Skinwalker seems a bit stiffer now. Like she was examining you both, as well as Buddy. Slowly, she spoke.

"You... Very strange... Not from here." Taking a paddle made of bone she stirs the soup. "My son... Dreams much. Like father. Always dreams great things. Like father... Leave home, chase dreams. When young, he says ah... Become... Hero. Like Pun-Pun. Unite Kobold, and humans." She smiled softly almost as if she was looking at a child who was saying something silly. "But... Humans, and Kobolds, always fight. No peace." She looks sadly into the fire before looking back at you and Pylia. She seemed serious now. "Shortfang... Stupid. But good heart. So... Don't hurt, my son. Or... I walk, in your skin."

Sylvia entered the small hut with everyone, lowering her mask as she did. She answered the apology and thanks with a smile and an "It's not a problem," She watched as Shortfang translated for his mother and explained the roots and herbs she just gave the group. When Shortfang explained the roots, Sylvia commented "This will definitely help! Thank you, Skinwalker,"

It wasn't long till Shortfang left and the room seemed to grow a little more serious. She caught Pylia's nervous gaze before looking back to Skinwalker. She then spoke, and when she mentioned that she wasn't from here, Sylvia answered, "That is very astute. Indeed, I'm not from here. I'm from somewhere...very far away,"

She listened as she spoke more about Shortfang, and she couldn't help but smile. The fact that Shortfang wants to become a hero and unite humans and kobolds...it was heartwarming for Sylvia to hear. It was indeed like hearing a kid back home saying they wanted to be a superhero, but she felt that Shortfang could actually achieve those dreams here.

Her smile faded a bit when Skinwalker looked serious and gave her warning. As she did, Skinwalker's name and occupation clicked in Sylvia's mind and she shuddered at the thought of what Skinwalker would do if they hurt Shortfang. She answered Skinwalker, just as serious as she was but maintaining respect, "You have my word. We will not hurt Shortfang. If anything, we will do all we can to protect him and help him if he needs it,"

Pylia seemed very uneasy looking between you and Skinwalker. It seemed that unlike you, Pylia wasn't quite as calm at the kobold threatening her, but soon Shortfang came in bursting with enthusiasm. "Found it!" He held out what looked like two rats, completely skinned. Skinwalker nods and motions for him to put them onto a small wooden stump that would serve as a cutting board. "Mom make kobold rhygarmth, or meatball soup. We use rat meat, all meat, except bladder. Bladder bitter, mom save for tanning." Skinwalker took out a small curved knife made of what looked like some sort of long talon, and expertly used it to cut open the rat and extract the organs. She squeezed out the contents of the organs into a bowl, and in a separate bowl had some boiled water which she used to clean the organs. Meanwhile Shortfang was chopping up the rat, bones and all, with his own cleaned knife. "Rat bones small, very soft. Crush with knife, mix with meat, good taste! Chop chop chop!" Shortfang kept mincing the meat as his mother would add the organs to the mixture, letting Shortfang chop it up. Soon however he stopped, bring it over to the rest of you.

"In kobold tribe, everyone help make rhygarmth. Lot of chopping! Very tire. Help chop, make food taste good yeah!" Shortfang handed his knife to Pylia to chop, and though a bit nervous, she did so. "Good, good! Chop chop chop, you say! Go faster." With an awkward smile Pylia did as she was told. "C-Chop chop chop... Chop?" The rat was slowly starting to look like some sort of ground meat now, you almost couldn't tell it came from a rat. Soon it was Buddy's turn to chop which he did, though he wasn't able to say anything. So Shortfang said it for him. "Chop chop chop chop! Okay, boss turn now."

Sylvia could feel a bead of sweat drip down the side of her face from the anxiety of Skinwalker threatening her. But thankfully, the air seemed to lighten up when Shortfang returned...with rat meat. She could feel sick already, but she didn't dare to show it, nor complain against the food. She listened to what Shortfang had to say about the process of cooking rat...just...in case she needed to cook rat? ....

Then it was mentioned that everyone is supposed to help make the meatballs. She could see Pylia was nervous, and as the rat meat was grounded, it became harder to tell that it came from rat, which eased the sick feeling in Sylvia's stomach a little. When it was turn, she nodded to Shortfang, and she took her turn. Using her cooking experience to her advantage, she chopped the meat, saying out loud, "Chop chop chop chop!" She then asked once she had done her fair bit of shopping, "How's this?"

"Is good!" Shortfang said happily as he gave it to his mother, who seasoned it with some dried kept and sea salt, as well as mixing it with some more meat that she had prepared previously. There was no telling what meat that was. As Skinwalker was mixing up the meat Shortfang sat with the group and spoke somewhat quietly. "Shortfang know you no want eat rat. It is... Normal, for humie. For Kobold, eat rat is normal too. These... Little things. Make hard for humie and kobold to be at peace. Thing like... Shortfang mom and dad, not wife and husband. Kobold not do that. Kobold also no have home. Always go where safe, live there. Not like humies. Humies make city, stay forever. Kobold make home, go when home no safe. Go where safe. Sometimes, safe with humie, like here in Underhaven. Sometime..." Shortfang seemed sadden and said very quietly. "Sometime... Safe with monster. So kobold stay with, and help, monsters... Dragons... Bad, strong people." He sighed as he looked to you in particular. "That's why Shortfang no stay home. Shortfang want to be strong, so he not work with bad people. But sometime Shortfang... Shortfang stupid. Like at humie camp. Shortfang hunt for humie, say they give Shortfang shinies. One, big man, say he want to hunt. Tell Shortfang give him shiny spear, shield, other things. Says is his, needs for hunt, he help me. Shortfang... Stupid, so he help. Then, humie lady say Shortfang steal. He say not him, but they see him take, so they say Shortfang thief."

It seemed like Shortfang was talking about Garruk and how he ended up with that woman's spear, shield, and amulet. From what Shortfang was trying to explain, he did actually take it, albeit under a misunderstanding. As Shortfang poked the fire with a stick he tried to continue on. "Point. The point Shortfang say this... So, mom say kobold who betray Swamp Dragon, he Grey Scale too. He... He says Kalmeet, Calamity Dragon, want help Swamp Dragons. Give them power, fight back trogs. Grey Scales say no, Kobold no serve dragon. But Grey Scale he... He took many warriors of tribe. They stronger now. With wings, and magic. They left tribe, so no one left to fight but Sewer Dragons and riders. Trog come, big war. Now..." Shortfang sighed. "Now Swamp Dragons think maybe they fight for Kalmeet. They need be stronger now. Shortfang... Shortfang don't want that. No want mom or tribe to fight for bad dragon. So... I dunno." He said in a defeated tone.

"We fight trog, maybe we win. But Tribe still weak... Humie hate kobolds... Too many trogs... What... What tribe do? What... What Shortfang do, for tribe?"

Sylvia smiled at Shortfang's answer, before sitting back down. It was then that Shortfang spoke. She listened to him attentively, and she came to realize that he had been talking about the first camp, and how Garruk had tricked him into stealing Mariam's items. Never had Sylvia looked back on a fight and felt glad that she gave her opponent some good strikes until now. Thinking back on the situation made her wonder if the hunter knew the whole situation to begin with and that was why he pointed her to Shortfang...

Then he got to his point. She could hear the defeat in his words. When he asked, she decided to answer, "We can't make decisions for other people, and bringing peace between humans and kobolds is not a change that can happen overnight. I think the best thing we can do for the tribe is to just help them out as much as we can. We just need to take it one step at a time. For now, we can focus on Green Eyes before turning our attention onto the trogs and Red Stain, and then talking with the Grey Scales,"

She then added thoughtfully, "They said the trog problem was caused by humans....If I asked the Grey Scales how so, then maybe I could talk to Duke Erod about it and make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again,"

She then realized something and she looked to Shortfang while pointing out, "They're not the only ones who have grown stronger. I think you have a bit of magic of your own, Shortfang," She directed her gaze at Syfr and she pointed out, "Befriending an owl and somehow being able to know what he sees while he's flying ahead...that's not a small feat,"

Shortfang just smiled as you spoke. He seemed happy in a way, though also a bit forlorn. "Shortfang stronger, is true. Have magic now so... Can fight better too. Syfr help Shortfang fight. All help Shortfang fight." He smiles as he sits back up, his previous cheerfulness returning. "And with help, Shortfang will win! Trogs just stupid bad guys, do nothing but charge and claw bite. Sewer Dragon better than trogs!" He says with gusto.

Hearing you and Shortfang speak, Pylia had a thought. "What if... What if this might have something to do with that cult Shor told us about? Elysium? I mean, Shor did mention that they plan to sow destruction and such. If the kobolds live and maintain the sewers, but end up getting killed by the trogs, who may then end up invading the city from below... That certainly sounds chaotic and destructive." Pylia looked over to Shortfang as things started to click together. "And if Eyslium, who are supposedly a cult of that dragon, are helping the trogs kill the kobolds, well the kobolds wouldn't want to ally with them then wouldn't they? Why would they went to work for someone who did so much harm, right?"

She noticed the forlorn feeling despite the smile before it disappeared as Shortfang hyped himself up once more. Sylvia smiled as his cheer returned. It's kind of infectious. It disappeared when Pylia voiced her thoughts, and as Pylia spoke, the more it clicked in Sylvia's mind. She answered Pylia, in slight shock at the revelation, "Pylia...you may be right!" If that were truly the case, then this was definitely something that they needed to take care of, immediately. She then spoke up, "That means...we'll need to find evidence of Elysium's influence while we help the Sewer Dragons, for the Grey Scales and the Guards of Gransys,"

Pylia nodded. "First, we'll need to find Green Eyes to secure the home front here. From the sounds of things, the trogs don't think the kobolds can survive much longer thanks to their sheer numbers, but they also don't know we're here. They must be sending all of their forces here, which means that they don't have many guarding whatever is their homebase. Once we shore up the defenses, we can then strike the heart of the trogs, their leader Red Stain, and find proof of the cults involvement there." Shortfang had a thought and raised his hand. "If we take break now, Shortfang can send Syfr to find dwarf guards? Maybe they help, if cult here." Pylia nods to this idea as well. "That would be the best for us. I'll continue making some potions for us while Shortfang tries to get the Shor and his men here. If they come on their own, the kobolds might think they're an enemy."

Shortfang nods and gives you and Pylia two thumbs up. "Believe in Shortfang! Shortfang go join kobnolds outside, send Syfr, get dwarf guards, then we get their help!" Just as he says this, Skinwalker steps over holding some wooden bowls. In the bowls were meatball soup. She smiles and looks at everyone. "Eat!"

Sylvia nodded in agreement with Pylia. She then looked at Shortfang when he suggested sending Syfr to get the guards and she nodded answering him with a smile, "Great idea, Shortfang!" She then had a thought on that idea, and she added to Shortfang's idea, "I have an idea, to make sure that Shor and the other guards do follow Syfr and don't get confused. I don't think Syfr can talk...so what if we wrote a message to them, explaining what's going on a little bit, ask for their help, and Syfr can deliver that to them before leading them back to the sewers?"

She had to admit...she might have gotten that idea from Harry Potter.

It wasn't long before Skinwalker came back with the meatball soup. She accepts the meatball soup and she thanks Skinwalker politely before eating just the soup. She was carefully and trying to be subtle in avoiding the meat. She didn't want to offend Skinwalker, and she knew that the meatballs were from rat...

“Oh, better idea than Shortfang.” He took his bowl and happily ate his good. Pylia took a bowl and ate as well, hesitant about yeh meat ball. Seeing you trying to avoid them, Pylia takes one for the team and tries some. They weren’t... Bad. “Mhmm.... Somewhat gamey, but the bones give it a slight crunchy texture. And... There’s a hint of fish. Some sort of white fish?” Shortfang nods. “Meatballs made with all meat!”

Fortunately for you, Shortfang did a good job distracting his mother from noticing you avoiding the food. Additionally Buddy was also given some food which he “ate” by pouring it down a chute behind his gorget. When you finished the part of the soup that wasn’t meat, which was mostly mushrooms and sea weed, Buddy would take your food and eat it as well, leaving nothing behind.

After eating, Shortfang would send Syfr off with your letter. Pylia would stay at his place and try and make some potions. Buddy stayed nearby ready to assist. Shortfang himself went to help bolster the guards outside. This would allow you time to meditate at your leisure, and afterwards you’d still have time to do whatever it is you feel like doing, at least until help arrives.

Sylvia rubbed the back of her head abashedly with a smile on her face when Shortfang said that her idea was better. She did feel bad when she saw Pylia take one for the team and eat the rat. She didn't say anything though, and just let Pylia express her thoughts on the rat. Sylvia was grateful that Shortfang had distracted his mother from noticing that she didn't eat the meatball. She was surprised to find that Buddy could "eat" in a manner of speaking. She thanked Buddy quietly as he "ate" the meatballs in her soup.

After eating, she asked Buddy if she could borrow a page from Buddy's journal and the writing utensils to write the letter, before proceeding to write. She then rolled up the letter and gave it to Syfr to carry before the owl flew off. After writing the letter, she gave the writing

Sylvia decided to meditate, focusing on getting her ki back for the tasks ahead, while she waited for the guards. While there wasn't anything else Sylvia wanted to do other than meditate, she did think about what the doll said before and she looked at Pylia briefly. While Pylia may not want to talk to her about who she met before, Sylvia was considering telling her what she heard from the doll. But that might be a topic better discussed after helping the Sewer Dragons.

After meditating, she decided to wait for the guards to show up for assistance. There really was nothing else she felt that she needed to do or wanted to do right now.

The tension in the air was thicker than the foul sewer stench. Many kobolds could not sit still as they were doing their best to prepare for the worse when those troglodytes arrive. Many were trying to build fortifications or weapons, some practicing with mixed success. It was obvious that many of these kobolds were not trained in fighting. They constructed barriers and weapons well enough, but if they needed to defend themselves, it would not end well for them. Pylia focused intently on her potion making using the ingredients Skinwalker gave her. After a few experimental potions to test their potency, she was able to make four healing potions, thanks to the potency of the ingredients.

Skinwalker herself busied herself with her tanning and crafting herself. Surprisingly enough, it seemed like she also had access to dyes and other textiles than just hides; she had a whole other tent dedicated to those. What she was making was hard to see, but she was making some sort of white cloth... Before too long however there's a ruckus by the entrance as the doors open, and suddenly Syfr lands nearby and hoots at you. Pylia comes out with the potions as Buddy follows her. "Looks like they're here! Let's go Sylvia." Pylia says as she and Buddy heads out to the front.

When you arrive you see Yorik and Aisha. Yorik had a wide grin while Aisha had a cloth wrapped in front of her face, likely to mask the scent as well. "We got yer letter kid! Hah ha ha! Ain't even a day and ya already found trouble and hot on dem Elysium gits!" Aisha smacked Yorik's chest though he didn't seem to notice. "Silence you oaf! We don't have any definitive proof of their involvement yet. But yes, we have received your message, Sylvia. Shor sent us as we're the only ones with darkvision. He and the others have gone to castle to inform of the Seneschal of the troglodyte threat and to see if he can receive some reinforcements, but I doubt it will come quickly or today. If things are as bad as your letter implies, we may not even have time bring guardsmen down here before those vermin overrun this settlement and secure a stronger foothold into the docks." Yorik just spat and snorted, taking his warhammer off his belt and giving it a few testy swing. That's when the chain suddenly appeared and turns out his hammer is actually a flail. "Basically, she's saying we gotta go crush heads now, rather den later! Looks like ya got sum lads ere ready fer a scrap already. Leave it ta me an da elf 'ere ta fortify dis place, make it nice an ready fer da next fight. Ye do wot ye gotta do and we'll make sure dis place is ready fer ya when you come back!"

Sylvia had her eyes closed during the silence during the entire time, seemingly still in meditation until finally she hears the ruckus by the door and Syfr appeared hooting. She nodded to Pylia and answered her comment, "I'm coming!" She followed Pylia and Buddy out to meet up with Yorik and Aisha. She smiled at Yorik and she couldn't help but laugh at his comment. She answered him, "Glad you guys could help us! I seem to have a weird way of getting into trouble,"

She nodded in agreement when Aisha mentioned that they don't have definitive proof of Elysium's involvement. She listened as Aisha and Yorik informed them that they need to crush heads today. She smiled and answered the both of them after they finished, "We'll leave the fortifications to you. Thank you for helping!"

She then decided to inform them, "Pylia, Shortfang, Buddy and I will be bringing back a large crocodile by the name of Green Eyes back to the kobolds. They'll need the crocodile to help with their defenses. After that, we'll go and strike the heart of the troglodyte threat. We'll also look and see if there are any definitive evidence of Elysium's involvement as well,"

She also informed them, "Also, I should warn you that the kobolds are on edge due to treachery by one of their own. So if they're hostile to you, please don't mind them,"

Your last comment just got a smirk from the both of them. "Oh honey... We're an orc and drow. Humans give us a hard time. We'll be fine." Yorik looked to the kobolds who seem quite intimidated by him. Even the ones riding the crocodiles seem to be hiding behind their mounts. "If dey got issues, I'd gladly listen to em! If dey got da guts ta speak ta me! Gha ha ha ha!" This just got another smack from Aisha. "Enough! Like it or not, we're here to help. Yorik, see if you can't teach them some combat basics. I'll work with who I can to prepare this place for battle. Oh, one more thing: Based off this information you gave us, there's a good possibility that if we can do enough damage to the trogs, their leader might have to make an appearance on the front line himself. Troglodytes respect nothing more than strength, but if they suffer heavy losses they will blame their leader, thinking he's hiding behind his fodder." Yorik gave you a bit grin that was half happy, half deranged. "Basically, leave no survivors! When dem nasties realize wot dere up against, dey either gunna break or make their boss get off his lazy arse and fight! Heh, if we're real lucky, maybe dey kill dere boss demselves!" Rolling her eyes, Aisha left to work with the remaining kobolds to fortify the base while Yorik left to train the militia.

Gathering their things Pylia made inventory and handed out some potions, one for her, two for Shortfang, one for Buddy, and two for you. Unfortunately the medicine on the cloth they used coming here was dried up now, so it wasn't going to be of much help against the smell. "Troglodytes radiate a wretched stench naturally. I'm sure you might've noticed it when you fought them. Their odor is so terrible it's sickening... I wish I had more antitoxins, but I'm only good for three more spells, so I need to save them for battle, and healing a distant second." Buddy hefted his axe into his hands, counting on his fingers before raising one finger up. He then wrote in his journal what he was trying to say. "1 smite" Shortfang loaded a bolt into his crossbow, as well as his light crossbow. "Shortfang fresh and ready for fightin! Let's go! Grey Scale says that tunnel to Green Eyes!" Shortfang pointed towards the south-most tunnel on the east side, the opposite from where they arrived.

Sylvia couldn't help but blush in embarrassment when Aisha and Yorik smirked and Aisha made her comment. There was her ignorance of Keratia...showing in plain sight again. She listened as Aisha as she gave her advice, and Yorik simplified it. She nodded and answered, making a mental note in her mind, "Got it. Defeat as many of those troglodytes as possible!" She then headed back to her friends after Yorik and Aisha parted ways to help the kobolds.

She gathered her things and met up with her friends once more. She listened to what Pylia had to say, as well as Buddy, and Shortfang. After Shortfang pointed the way, Sylvia answered them, "Awesome. I've got my ki back, and I'm ready to go. Let's save the heavy hitting spells and the smites for the trogs. For Green Eyes, we need to focus on getting the big guy to eat the roots Skinwalker gave us. Let's get going!"

She would lead the way down the tunnel, trying to think on how to get the croc to eat the roots. Maybe she could stick one of the roots on a throwing knife and throw it into the croc's mouth if it's hostile...?

With everything set, the party sets out into the sewers to find Green Eyes. There wasn’t much of a lead to follow, but how hard could it be to find a giant crocodile? Turns out, quite a bit. Though most of the tunnels were rather small, it was a veritable labyrinth of pipes, waterways, and drains. It didn’t help that Shortfang doesn’t know this part of the underground; all he could tell was that there were no kobold signs. This might actually be deep into trog territory.

It took about an hour before the party eventually finds something interesting. Going down a corridor you would notice a huge pool of blood and two halves of a troglodyte in between them. But oddly enough also near said pool of blood, in fact right in front of it, was a rather well made door. Many of the doors you e found down here where either simple bar doors, moldy wooden ones, or heavy stone and bronze. But this door appeared to be made of some find hardwood with brass accents. There was even a legitimate doorknob and a knocker, instead of just a handle. The creepiest thing about this door however was the strange ornament on top of it though; some sort of four-pointed star, but it had what looked like a bronze eye at the center that almost looked like it was following you, though you know this is just a trick of perspective.

As they went on, searching for Green Eyes and notably having a difficult time doing so, Sylvia couldn't help but comment to herself, "Should've watched more of Steve Irwin's shows when I was kid..." As they seemed to have entered deep into trog territory, Sylvia kept her eyes peeled for any trogs that might stumble upon them.

Soon enough, they found a large pool of blood and two halves of a troglodyte in it. She then looked towards the door, and she thought that it was strange. The door looked like it belonged in a haunted mansion more so than in the sewers. She asked the others "This is odd. Think Green Eyes was able to go through this door?" How wide was this door anyways? Was it big enough for a large crocodile to go through?

She also checked the door for any other signs of what may have crossed the threshold, or if there were any traps. With a closed door like this, she'd rather be careful and not charge in. Charging in may startle Green Eyes, and if not Green Eyes, then it would alert any trogs that were in there.

This door looked like a regular door, meant for human sized folks. If Green Eyes was as big as the crocodiles you saw before, there’s no way he would fit through here without breaking the wall. And aside from the blood stains, there wasn’t really anything else on this door as far as traps or signs of entry. Though it was still strange how there was a dead body here.

Everyone seemed to have a comment on the door. “I’m not sure what’s on the other side, but if I had to guess it killed this trog. Might not be friendly.” Pylia says. “Enemy of Enemy friend, yeah? Plus nice door. Solid, safe! We knock, say hi?” Shortfang spoke out. Buddy wrote his thoughts on a page of his journal. ”Its a lead. Might take us to Grn Eye.” ultimately however they were waiting on you to make the decision. They were all ready for trouble if it showed up.
